Diagnostic characters: Sideburns, under parts, and inner side of limbs bright to dark reddish, or reddish brown Callicebus bernhardi new species (saturate pheomelanin); upper and outer surface of head, trunk, and limbs grayish to blackish agouti; forehead like crown, whitish ear tufts lacking; tail dominantly blackish

Holotype: Complete adult skeleton and skull of unknown sex, found on the forest fl oor. The specimen apparently died from natural causes and was collected by M. G. M. van Roosmalen in November 1998. It was deposited as INPA no. 3929 in the Mammal Collection of the National Institute for Amazon Research (INPA), b Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

Paratypes: In 1996, two juvenile males were obtained alive along the Rio Mariepauá at Santa Cruz, not far from its confl uence with the Rio Madeira, and were kept in M. G. M. van Roosmalen’s Breeding Center for Endangered Amazonian Monkeys in Manaus, Brazil. They died in April and August 2001 and are deposited as INPA no. 4029 and INPA no. 4033, respectively, in the Mammal c Collection of the National Institute for Amazon Research (INPA), Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

Type locality: West bank of the lower Rio Aripuanã, at the edge of the settlement of Nova Olinda, 41 km southwest of the town of Novo Aripuanã, Amazonas state, Brazil. This region is located in south-central Amazonia, south of Rio Amazonas and east of Rio Madeira. Coordinates for the type locality are: 05°30’63”S, 60°24’61”W. Altitude 45 m. (Fig. 26).

with C. cinerascens along the Rio Roosevelt; in Amazonas, the species is parapatric with C. dubius in the west along the middle Rio Madeira, and with C. cinerascens in the east along the Rio Aripuanã (Figs. 1 and 2). Ferrari et al. (1996) observed a grey titi monkey at Pimenta Bueno in Rondônia, on the west bank of the Rio Ji-Paraná. They noted that it was not the distinctively brown-colored C. brunneus and were unable to identify it. It may have been C. bernhardi, which would extend its range a little to the west across the upper the Rio Ji-Paraná, but this requires confirmation.

This species has been observed in the wild by M.G.M. van Roosmalen at the following localities: west bank of lower Rio Aripuanã, Nova Olinda, Amazonas state, 05°30’01”S, 60°24’27.4”W; west bank of lower Rio Aripuanã, Monte Alegre, Reserva Florestal Getal, 05°34’68”S, 60°23’40”W; Figure 27.

The various groups of C. bernhardi observed in the wild by M. G. M. van Roosmalen were invariably in naturally or anthropogenically disturbed forest, such as blow- downs (large patches of secondary forest after massive deforestation caused by dramatic rainstorm events), liana forest on abandoned terras pretas, secondary forest surrounding plantations and fields, and so-called seringais, an early form of agroforestry, in which areas of high riverbank forests along Amazonian white-water rivers were turned into productive multi-species forests. These forests are rich in a number of commercially valuable and edible fruit-producing native trees, including rubber (Hevea brasiliensis), Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa), wild cocoa (Theobroma spp.), ‘bacurí’ (Rheedia spp., Platonia insignis), ‘ingá’ (Inga spp.), ‘taperebá’ (Spondias mombin), ‘biribá’ (Rollinia squamosa), ‘soursop’ (Annona spp.), and a number of tree species belonging to the sapotilla family (Sapotaceae) and palms (Palmae or Arecaceae). These seringais seem to
